Members of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band took to social media to express condolences for music icon Aretha Franklin, who passed away Thursday, Aug. 16 at her home in Detroit, according to USA Today.

In Cleveland, Eddie Manion, frequent saxophonist for the E Street Band, joined E Street Band founder Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez and the Wonderful Winos for a moving rendition of "Amazing Grace" to honor the late Franklin at a Rock Hall Live show at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Franklin was the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. She won 18 Grammys and has performed at the the inaugurations of three presidents, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Obama.

"Freeway of Love," a 1985 Top 10 hit for Franklin, is significant in these parts as the late Clarence Clemons provides the saxophone on the track. Randy Jackson, best known as an "American Idol" judge, plays bass on "Freeway." He also played bass on Springsteen's "Human Touch."
